I have no problem with the world falling under a single government. That is, only if the whole world becomes America and subject to the American Constitution.

The same could be said of a hypothetical UN Union. The same principle applies.
The Founding Father's decided on our form of federal government for a reason, and it included a separation of powers by function of government, as well as by a separation powers by state governments. The Tenth Amendment was also included for a reason, not just aesthetics.
Why do you think America knows what is best for the rest of the world? Our policy in the Middle East has not solved any problems which we didn't create in the first place. What happened to exporting democracy; especially, the form of democracy known as state's rights?
I agree that new and hypothetical UN Constitution could have a better version of our Bill of Rights included.
Why do you think a UN federal government with a US style Constitution with a Bill of Rights would be any worse than our current US government?
